I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.
Wedding Dress Shopping

Today was another fun day with Lady Ali, Buttah, Peanut and my Mom. We went wedding dress shopping after dropping Buttah off at the mall. Lady Ali had already chosen a wedding dress or so we thought but was having second thoughts about it. She, of course wants to be 100% sure about the dress so off we went in pursuit of the perfect one.
She tried on a bunch but not being able to give any details away, we left without one but with some good ideas of what she wants. Peanut also tried on some Junior Bridesmaid dresses but the selection was very limited and the dresses were very expensive. We’ll be looking in department stores most likely for her dress.
We had a great time together today though. We laughed so much, over really silly stuff, but it was a lot of fun. I must have said, “I remember that” about a thousand times as we reminisced about things. It was so sweet to have my girls together too and to have the time to get to know my future son-in-law better. We stopped to visit my Aunt for a short while then went out to dinner.
Lady Ali and Buttah are back to Orlando for tonight and tomorrow. Then we’ll meet up with them on Wednesday when we go to Disney for New Year’s Eve. They leave for Kansas on New Year’s Day. I don’t even want to think about it.

This sounds like the perfect mother-daughters day for the three of you! I can only imagine how excited you are about the wedding and Peanut, too!

Connie,
I remember those days of wedding dress shopping. It’s so much fun trying the different styles. Definitely a day to make new memories and reminisce about the past.

Oh, it sounds like a wonderful time!

New memories indeed, Sophia. And the reminiscing part is quite funny since it’s been about 7 months since we’ve seen each other. In Mom/Daughter years though I think that equals 7 years

LadyGrace, I hope you enjoy your wedding dress shopping as much as I did with my daughter.

Shirley, Thanks so much. We had a wonderful time. There were a few tears when they left but I wouldn’t trade the time spent with them for anything.

Dore’, I did have some extra time with my daughter and future s-i-l, but it was tough saying goodbye. I didn’t cry in front of them though.
